How Many Used to Be?
I saw a poll for how many active ministers so I decided to make a similar poll for how many used to be ministers for used to be UPC/ conservative Apostolic ministers.

Re: How Many Used to Be?
I began preaching when I was 15 years old. Served as a full-time evangelist for about 15 years. And, for a time, was an Asst. Pastor. But, I left the ministry and haven't preached at all in several years. I was affliated with the Assemblies of the LJC.

What are you calling "evangelical"? That covers as much as "Pentecostal."

Re: How Many Used to Be?
I was never in full time ministry but was a member of a UPC church who preached here and there some until 1963/64 when we left the local UPC church and went to an ALJC church. Again, there I was not full time but preached here and there some and was sectional youth leader for a few years.
We left that ALJC church in 1978 or 79. For a while we did not go to church anywhere for several years. I started going to a local Vineyard Church in 1992 and went there until 2006. During that time I did some teaching, was on several prayer teams and was a POC (Pastor on Call) for 5 years. Since spring 2006 we are attending a church in Hamilton, OH. Our pastor is a Rhema graduate so our church is listed in the Rhema directory. He is ordained through WME (Worldwide Missionary Evangelism) http://www.wmeinc.org/ and we are associated with the LA Dream Center http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_Center
So, I'm not sure how to answer. I do some teaching/preaching/speaking where ever asked to go but I'm more active in prayer ministry and outreach.
So, I wasn't sure how to answer the poll.

Easy believism without tongues.

Re: How Many Used to Be?
I wasn't quite sure how to vote. I voted that we are liberal apostolic, but we don't refer to ourselves as that, and most people on here wouldn't allow us that title. LOL! But I don't refer to myself as a charismatic either, so I really didn't fit anywhere. We are a unique bunch, I guess.

Re: How Many Used to Be?
I consider myself Evangelical. I don't think that infers "no tongues".

Evangelical could mean cessationist and it could also mean a belief in tongues and other gifts today.
